TMT brings Starlink’s high-speed internet to Malaysians

Thunder Match Technology Sdn. Bhd. (TMT), Malaysia’s largest tech chain retailer, has been named an authorised retailer for Starlink, the groundbreaking satellite internet service developed by SpaceX. This partnership promises to deliver high-speed, low-latency internet access to underserved and remote regions across Malaysia, addressing the nation’s persistent digital divide.

Starlink’s cutting-edge technology operates through a constellation of low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites, ensuring seamless connectivity even in the most challenging terrains. With this initiative, households and businesses in rural Malaysia will gain access to reliable broadband, unlocking opportunities in education, healthcare, and business growth.

Driving Digital Inclusion Nationwide

In a statement, the management of TMT expressed their enthusiasm for the partnership, “This partnership marks a pivotal moment in TMT’s journey to deliver technology solutions that truly make a difference. Starlink’s innovative satellite technology offers an unprecedented solution to address the connectivity challenges faced by many Malaysians in rural and underserved areas. By bringing this cutting-edge technology to our customers, we aim to empower individuals and businesses with the tools they need to access education, expand opportunities, and improve their quality of life. This collaboration underscores our commitment to bridging the digital divide and driving Malaysia’s digital transformation forward.”

The collaboration aligns with TMT’s mission to empower communities with innovative solutions. With Starlink’s deployment, rural regions will no longer be hindered by poor connectivity, enabling greater digital inclusivity for Malaysians from all walks of life.

TMT: A Trusted Name in Tech Retail

Founded in 1997, Thunder Match Technology has established itself as a leading technology retailer in Malaysia.
